Beach Lovers Vacation

Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort is a small elegant beachfront resort offering just 20 beachfront bungalows. The vibe is relaxed, and you will feel this is your own private paradise.

The bungalows are just steps from the silky white sands

A barrier reef protects the beach from large waves. Wade out 50 feet in the brilliant turquoise water, and the warm water is only waist deep.The four-mile long beach is lined with swaying palms, and the soft sand is free of coral or rocks. And, there are no jellyfish or sea urchins. As an expert Caribbean beach bum, I can assure you THIS is one of the BEST beaches in the Bahamas!

This resort offers either a relaxing romantic vacation, or more adventuresome activities including scuba diving to sailing to sport fishing, island tours, and free bicycle and kayak rentals are available for guests.

Dining: Beach House Restaurant & Oceanside Bar is the culinary hub of the resort. Full meal plans (breakfast, lunch and dinner), modified meal plans (breakfast and dinner) and kid’s plans are available. Bahamian
and Continental cuisine is prepared by local chefs, along with fine
imported wines and desserts to compliment meals - and Vegetarian options
are available.

Long Island is aptly named being 70 miles long and just 5 miles wide. Cape Santa Maria is located on the calm western coast, and the east coast features 150 foot cliffs and crashing surf. Long Island is also home to the world's deepest blue hole in the Bahamas - see previous post
